ELISE MORIN

From video art to installations, a certain affiliation with minimalism could be recognised in Elise Morin’s practice. Expressed through the accumulation of identical materials, the repetition of a motif and the close relationship between her work and the spaces they occupy. Tinted with sensuality, her work borrows from landscape and nature. It focusses on the life cycle of artwork and considers the “material burden” of the pieces they produce and the resources they use. The emphasis is not only on decreasing material waste and potential damage to ecosystems, but also on rethinking the complex implications of transporting, storing, and showing artwork (The main focus is not just the decreasing material waste and potential damage to ecosystems, but also the re-thinking of the complex implications of transporting, storing and showing artwork). There is a move away from the production of objects, toward more process, action, or performance-based work (The interest is rather the process, the action or the performance-based work than the production of objects itself.)
